extra rare.

Product Reviews

For our 11th birthday party, me and my sister had Epoisde
2, "Barbecue with a Vampire" I can tell you, the game was very
well organized, and it was the best party EVER! We decorated our
basement to a bat-halloween theme, and circled around the TV
using couches, floor and some chairs for people to sit on. True, it
did go a little slow at first, but everyone had a great time!! So
much in fact, my friends wanted to host a mystery, and were
doing another episode next year!!!

We did have a few extra people, so we paired up. I would highly recommend this to any person 11-14.

Best Party EVER!!!

December 31, 2006

My friend had this party for her 11th birthday. This party was the
BEST party I have ever been to, I'm going to have the "Hot Times at
Hollywood High" for my birthday. She set up her basement like the
rockstar's castle and had pictures of bats on the walls. She had eight
pilows in a circle set up on the floor with our character's guide on each
pillow. On a nearby table was a bowl of "Blood Punch" and vampire
snacks. Her mom dressed up as a servant and hosted the party. The
beginning is a little slow, but you quickly get into it once you learn your
first secrets. Before each round, the mom would take anybody who
needed help understanding some of the things like blackmail, and privately
explain it to them. For the most part, everybody dressed up and really
got into their characters. The party got to the point that everybody was
screaming, and refusing to stop for cake. (The ice cream was soup by the
time we would go up to eat.) For dinner they did BBQ ribs and salads. The
party took about five hours, but we stopped for dinner, cake, and
presents. You could bring it down to 3 1/2 or four hours if you push
people along a bit, and go through dinner. Right before we revealed the
information, everybody revealed all of their secret information to narrow it
down to three suspects. Even after doing this, nobody suspected who
really ended up doing it. I recommend this party for kids 12 and up who
will really get into the party. As said before, the kid who never talks might
not be the best guest for this party.

This is a great game for a more structured party, it's intriguing and fun... I played the first one of this series when I was 12, now I'm 17 and I still like them (but I wish they'd hurry up and make some different ones!). I highly recommend it... have a blast!
